Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Zhiyun Crane M2 S has been a great pick for lightweight setups. It’s small, easy to travel with, and quick to balance, which makes it perfect when you want stabilized footage without bringing a full size gimbal. Once it’s set up, the stabilization is impressively smooth for walking shots, pans, and simple tracking moves. I also like how practical it is for everyday content. Controls are straightforward, it feels solid in hand, and it’s been reliable on shoots where I need to move quickly and keep the setup minimal. If you shoot with a compact camera or phone and want that clean cinematic movement without extra bulk, this gimbal is an easy recommendation.

Works with my a7ii & 50mm prime Sony lens… but you will need more for heavier lenses. Better suited for smaller cameras beneath the full frame range. I do really like the magnetic gel light feature however! Creates interesting and eerie lighting effects.

It was confusing to set up but after watching a video it made more sense. My camera was too big for it so I couldn't get an accurate representation on how nice it works. I'm sure if you had a smaller camera it would work better, but it kept getting caught on the eye piece on the camera itself.

Honestly just go with the M3 I was so happy with the ms2. I can only imagine how much better the m3 would be. I paired this with my Sony a6000 & 16mm Sigma lens. A very heavy paring to be honest… maybe a lil to heavy. This is the max payload this stabilizer is capable of handling.

I love everything about it my camera was to heavy for i got a smaller lens to reduce the weight of it but the balance is still of i havr the sony A7ii

It helps the camera more stable and I’m able to move around better with exception footage with it! Thank you for considering me!

Awesome very much needed if your in need of a lightweight gymbal get this one!

In my personal experience with this gimbal. This gimbal is very hard to operate for beginners. The product overheats sometimes. If you have an iPhone 13 pro max with an Otter box case, then the phone mount does not fit, and we need to buy the phone mount separately

Works well better than I expected bright light not too heavy

This gimbal is AMAZING! It’s compact, lightweight easy to carry around. Really easy to set up with no brain pain! Great features with build-in LED light which good for low light environments . Also it’s fast charging and more runtime compared to others. Love this little monster! A MUST have for Vlog professionals. Very happy with this purchase, definitely recommend it.

The Zhiyun Crane M2S Gimbal Stabilizer is a content creator's dream, seamlessly blending durability with a sleek design. Its 3-axis stabilization effortlessly turns shaky footage into cinematic marvels, and with intuitive controls, even beginners can master its functionalities swiftly. The added bonus of the detachable tri-pod stand, coupled with commendable battery life and compatibility with both cameras and smartphones, makes it an invaluable asset for both amateur videographers and seasoned pros. Highly recommended!

A very smooth movement gymbal. It is easy to setup. I like the 3 axis gymbal and especially the lock feature which allows you to do some fancy effects with the camera.

I love using this to make music videos. It gets me into the video making vibe lol. A little annoying to setup but gets easier over time. Just watch a wuick tutorial video! App is good but has a lot of issues.

[Employee of bestbuy] Out of the box i was impressed, great packaging but don't judge a book by its cover... its lightweight and great for smaller cameras and lenses. I used my sony a6400 with 18-135mm lens and it barely handled it. The motors were over heating and calibration was a bit difficult.

Great Gimbal, very easily accessible and lightweight this is my best new toy for filming my content, and short films etc. I love the joystick and manual controls, and the feature of controlling the gimbal with a smartphone. This is the best thing I’ve bought in over a year. I’m in love with my gimbal thanks Best Buy!

What a great purchase! Perfect for any small body DSLR or mirrorless camera. I use a Sony a6000 with a 16-45 mm lens. Perfect method. The event that I was at was about 4 hours, and it wasn't until around the third hour that I had to think about charging it, but it charged in less than 20 minutes to 3/4 battery. Really great quality overall with simple instructions!

Great gimbal for small cameras and cellphones. It is a little tricky to set up and balance. I wish it had a picture button for my Sony camera.

Easy to balance all 3axis and its a great gimbal for all kind of users (Not for heavy camera) Just small cameras and GoPro and phone

Great for the price. I spent around $200 on it. It’s not perfect but it works really well for the price. Very nice looking too. It sort of swings a bit but if I hold my hand steady, it works great. Pretty easy to set up because it offers online support and videos. I personally love it.

I like the fact that this is easy to set up and that its light weight
